<div class="content-intro"><p data-renderer-start-pos="41">K2 is building the largest and highest-power satellites ever flown, unlocking performance levels previously out of reach across every orbit. Backed by over $1 billion in total funding from leading investors including Altimeter Capital, ICONIQ, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint Ventures, and T. Rowe Price — and with over $1 billion in signed contracts across commercial and US government customers, we're mass-producing the highest-power satellite platforms ever built for missions from LEO to deep space.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="570">The rise of heavy-lift launch vehicles is shifting the industry from an era of mass constraint to one of mass abundance, and we believe this new era demands a fundamentally different class of spacecraft. Engineered to survive the harshest radiation environments and to fully capitalize on today's and tomorrow's massive rockets, K2 satellites deliver unmatched capability at constellation scale and across multiple orbits.</p> <p data-renderer-start-pos="994">With multiple launches in 2027 and plans to scale to 100 satellites a year, we're Building Bigger — helping develop the solar system and build toward a Kardashev Type II (K2) civilization. If you are a motivated individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and you're excited about contributing to the success of a high-growth Series D-funded company, we'd love for you to apply.</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">The Role</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">You will be responsible for defining and implementing procurement strategies for K2 Space’s Electrical Supply Chain. You will be the subject matter expert in supply chain best practices for hardware in your domain, building a world-class supply chain that drives a competitive advantage, taking ownership to ensure success on program build targets, and coaching team members to operate at the same high standards. Key skills will include having a deep understanding of the market and capabilities that are available to use in manufacturing, technical procurement of electrical hardware, and end-to-end Bill of Material (BOM) management for owned assemblies. You will work closely with our internal teams and external partners to deliver hardware that meets cost, schedule, and quality targets in support of our company critical missions.</span> <span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Responsibilities</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></p> <ul> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Define </span><span data-contrast="auto">company-wide strategy for how hardware in electrical commodities is sourced including sensors, PCBs, PCBAs, harness assemblies, connectors, wire, integrated circuits, and SMD components</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":257}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Lead cradle-to-grave supplier management, including identifying capabilities within the supply base, onboarding vendors to add capacity or capabilities, quoting and placing orders, working with engineering and quality teams to resolve issues, and tracking build milestones until hardware hits the dock</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":257}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Driv</span><span data-contrast="auto">e negotiations on contracts with key suppliers to meet cost, schedule, and quality targets</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":257}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Create robust supplier scorecards and metrics to ensure consistent supplier performance and quality is </span><span data-contrast="auto">maintained across the electrical supply chain</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":257}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Develop strong partnerships with internal stakeholders ensuring consistent alignment on expectations and procurement strategies to meet critical mission needs</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":257}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="none">Execute and maintain highly-quality </span><span data-contrast="auto">purchasing transactions by issuing purchase orders and managing open orders with materials requirement planning </span><span data-contrast="none">to ensure accuracy and completeness</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":257}"> </span></li> <li><span data-contrast="auto">Establish strategic relationships with key manufacturing companies and distributors to ensure strong alignment to industry and commodity trends </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":257}"> </span></li> </ul> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Qualifications</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{"335559738":240,"335559739":240}"> </span></
